As outlined by calciomercato.com, Inter Milan coach Roberto Mancini has clear in his mind what he would like to obtain during the next transfer window: two external forwards, a central midfielder and a left-footed center back. Regarding their flank, it seems more credible that only one player will be signed in January, and the main option remains Arsenal 30-year-old Lukas Podolski; on the contrary, Manchester United manager Louis Van Gaal has denied the possibility for 19-year-old Adnan Januzaj to be loaned out. For what concerns the midfield, the nerazzurri's main target remains Liverpool 27-year-old Lucas Pezzini Leiva, who has told Radio Gaucha that he won't join Gremio during the next transfer window and that he has received no offers from Napoli. Finally, regarding its team's defense, the Lombard club is thinking in particular about Manchester City 21-year-old Matija Nastasic. Moreover, some players could leave "San Siro" during the next transfer window, and the main candidates remain 21-year-old forward Mauro Icardi and 28-year-old midfielder Fredy Guarin, but only if an important offer will arrive. Meanwhile, as reported by alfredopedulla.com, 22-year-old goalkeeper Franceso Bardi, currently on loan at Chievo, is a target for Serie B side Bologna. Also city rivals AC Milan are seeking a winger, and, according to Sky Sport 24, have found an agreement for Atletico Madrid 27-year-old Alessio Cerci: the Italy international will join the rossoneri on a 18-month-loan, but will have to leave if the Spanish club will receive an important offer; 30-year-old Fernando Torres will follow the opposite path, and the Italians will keep on paying his salary.
